Too Cool To Dance 060726

About this episode

Pastor Chris Pan explores faith and emotional responsiveness through biblical events, urging openness to God's plan.

We start a new sermon series today called "Who Do You Say I Am?" First Prez Senior Pastor Chris Pan explores the nature of faith and emotional responsiveness. By examining the healing of the centurion's servant and the raising of the widow's son, we find that Jesus operates with both supreme authority and deep compassion. We also see that the religious leaders remained unmoved by either joy or sorrow. The message challenges us to avoid becoming "too cool to dance," urging us to reject spiritual numbness in favor of a heart that is open to God’s plan. Pastor Chris describes being fully human as the ability to respond authentically to life’s beauty and pain as Jesus did. Download the series booklet here First Prez website
